  = Cross-cutting variables and categories =
--73. To provide complete and coherent statistics on work relationships, information is needed on characteristics of jobs and work activities that are not measured in the classifications of status at work and status in employment. This information should be measured through a set of variables and categories based on characteristics associated with the degree of risk, stability and permanence of a particular employment or work arrangement and provide definitions for situations that may be represented in several categories of the classifications by status. They may be used for the generation of statistics in their own right, or combined in output with relevant status categories to construct output classifications relevant for national purposes.

++1. The following cross-cutting variables are required to compile statistics on the detailed categories in ICSE-18:
++11. duration of work agreement;
++11. type of employment agreement;
++11. contractual hours of work;
++11. forms of remuneration;
++11. place of work;
++11. job-dependent social protection coverage;
++11. reason for non-permanent employment.
++1. While not required for the compilation of statistics on status in employment, the following variables and categories are essential for the compilation of coherent statistics on work relationships or for the identification of important groups of interest:
++11. duration of employment in the current economic unit;
++11. seasonal workers; full-time/part-time status;
++11. domestic workers;
++11. home-based workers;
++11. multi-party work relationships;
++11. paid annual leave;
++11. paid sick leave.

  = Duration of the job or work activity and hours of work =
  **77. **Since many of the detailed categories in ICSE-18 include jobs which differ significantly in their capacity to provide ongoing and full employment, statistics classified by status in employment, and particularly the subcategories of employees, should be complemented by information on both the duration of the work arrangement and on hours worked. Two variables on the duration of the job or work activity are necessary to provide a full understanding of the temporal stability of work relationships and to assess the extent to which workers without permanent employment relationships have ongoing employment and income security. These are //Duration of work contract //and //Duration of employment in the current economic unit.//
